Welsh Juniors score VIP rugby prize with SWALEC
Four junior rugby teams have been selected as winners of a once-in-a-lifetime training opportunity through the SWALEC Junior Stars competition.
A dream will come true for junior sides from Bangor RFC, Denbigh RFC, Bryngwyn School and Whitland RFC in spring 2012 when they join members of Warren Gatland’s Welsh international coaching staff, as well as a host of international players, at the WRU National Centre of Excellence for an exclusive training session.
The SWALEC Junior Stars competition was launched in November 2011 and invited nominations from Welsh junior rugby teams who have excelled both on and off the pitch.
Bangor RFC, Denbigh RFC, Bryngwyn School and Whitland RFC were announced as competition finalists in the U13 club, U14 club, U13-14 school and U13-14 girls categories and clinched their prizes by drumming up the most online votes from their peers and supporters.
The finalists were selected from over 35 applications by WRU Head of Rugby Performance and Development, Joe Lydon, SWALEC Head of Sponsorship, Jonny Petrie, and Ryan Jones, Wales international player and SWALEC’s brand ambassador.
Bangor RFC U13s scored 75% of the votes, Denbigh RFC U14s won with 46% and Bryngwyn School U14s by 80%, whereas Whitland RFC U13s girls team automatically qualified for a place in the prize day.
